Yes Or No?
Two people living in a retirement home, an old man and an old woman, had known each other for several years.
One evening there was a community dinner in the large meeting hall.
They were both at the same table, facing each other.
During the meal, the man gave her a few admiring glances and then finally worked up the courage to ask her, “Will you marry me?
After about six seconds of “careful consideration,” she said, “Yes. Yes, I will.
The meal ended, and after some pleasant conversation, they went to their respective places.
The next morning, the man was in a bad mood. “Did she say ‘yes’ or ‘no’?” He could not remember. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t remember. Not even a faint memory.
Frightened, he went to the phone and called her. First he told her that he couldn’t remember as well as he used to. Then he reviewed the good evening that had passed.
When he got a little more courage, he asked, “When I asked you to marry me, did you say ‘yes’ or ‘no’?”
He was delighted to hear her say, “Yes, I did, and I said it with all my heart.
Then he continued,
“I’m so glad you called because I couldn’t remember who asked me!”
They Say Men Don’t Listen To Women
A man asked his wife what she wanted for her 40th birthday.
“I’d like to be six again,” she replied.
On the morning of her birthday, he woke her up early and they went to a local amusement park.
What a day! He took her on every ride in the park: Death Slide, Scream Loop, Wall of Horror, everything! Wow!
Five hours later, dizzy and sick to his stomach, he staggered out of the amusement park.
They went straight to McDonald’s and her husband ordered her a Happy Meal with extra fries and a refreshing chocolate shake.
Then they went to the movies – it was the latest Disney movie and what an amazing adventure!
Finally, she returned home with her husband and collapsed on the bed.
Her husband leaned over and asked her affectionately: “So, honey, what was it like to be six years old again?”
The woman looked up wearily and said;
“You fool, I meant my dress size.”
The moral of the story is this:
If a woman speaks and a man is really listening, he will still misunderstand.
